Hello,
I have some clues that my Great Grandmother was called Lily Steers and lived in London.  I know her father was a lighterman on the Thames and that she had a sister Rose and that her mother died when she was young.  Can someone please have a look to see if they can find the family on the 1891 census because on the 1881 it seems to fit but what should read Lily certainly dosn't look like Lily no matter how much I squint at it.
Father is called Henry Steers and was born in approximatly 1851, in 1881 the family lived at 1 Chandler Street St George in the East.  If there is a Lily Steers born around 1877 living with them in 1891 then  think I must have the right family as absolutly everything else seems to fit.
Many thanks

Hello,
I've hit a problem...was talking to my mum and she told me that my grandmothers maiden name was Shore, I'm sure she previously told me it was Moore but then I could have misheard her.  Anyway it sends all my research into disarray so I need to start from the beggining....My Grandparents lived in Marsden in Durham, near the rock, I know the village is no longer there but can someone tell me what area it would have been in.  My dad was born there so maybe if I get his birth certificate it'll help.
Thanks,
Claire

I'm asking on behalf of my Mother in Law for any info anyone can supply on the following people:-

James (aged 30) and Ann (aged 25) Kemp on the 1841 possibly with a son, James.  James and Ann were married on 13.02.1835 at St John the Baptist Church Lewes and James occupation is listed as a Whitesmith.

Not sure if there is any more to be added to that, but anything would be of interest.

Many thanks

Can anyone find Henry Geal born in Brasted in 1814 for me please. 

In 1861 he was living in Chart Cottage, Brasted with his wife Amelia and children but he is on the census as Kenny. 
In 1871 he is living in Pipers Green, Brasted, Kent. 

Any info from the '41 or '51 census' would be very interesting

Many thanks
Claire

Whilst telling my mum how chuffed I was for getting the family tree back to 1782 she suddenly leapt up and disappeared out of the room coming back a few minutes later with a family tree that had been sent to my late Aunt in 1990!!  Could she not have mentioned this before??  Anyway, the research that I'd got joined up with this tree at the point where it got a bit wobbly and our family branched off so with the two trees together I can go from my 3 year old right back to her ggggggggg grandfather Richard Mitchell who was born in 1596 in Ardinly.  However I can find nothing about the family before that.  Richards children were all christened in Ardinly but there is no record of his marriage to Mary or of their burials or of those of their children in the Ardinly area of the Sussex Online Parish Clerk site...so does anyone know where they came from or where they went after Ardingly?  One child, the youngest George was buried in Eastbourne in 1715 and had children by his first wife christened in Cuckfield but that's all I have...can anyone help??
